Every time you try to rewatch something from the ’90s, you’re either hit with a dead end or greeted by the usual suspects: Friends, The X-Files, Frasier, rinse, repeat.

But believe it or not, a bunch of lesser-known or long-forgotten series from the same era are available to stream — and some of them are actually worth the dive.

Others? They’re a beautiful mess. Either way, they all offer a slice of what the ’90s felt like: weirdly experimental, syndicated to hell, and somehow full of stars we either forgot or miss seeing on our screens.

These shows might not be on every nostalgia list, but they ran for multiple seasons, had loyal followings, and still carry that unmistakable ’90s energy.

And the best part? You can actually find them (in full) right now.

This supernatural drama starred Derek de Lint...

Keanu Reeves starred in the 1991 action movie Point Break, directed by Kathryn Bigelow. It features Reeves as FBI Agent Johnny Utah, who goes on an undercover mission to investigate the identities of a group of bank robbers, only to end up forming a complicated friendship with the group’s leader, Bodhi, played by Patrick Swayze.

According to Rick King, who co-wrote the movie’s story, he initially pitched the concept as Tom Cruise joining the FBI. Moreover, the project was initially conceived under a different director with Johnny Depp among the young actors considered for the lead role. Here is what Point Break could have been without Keanu Reeves.

Keanu Reeves’ Point Break Was Pitched as Tom Cruise Joins the FBI with Johnny Depp

Point Break is an action drama movie set against the backdrop of Malibu beaches with surfers moonlighting as bank robbers in LA. The movie was a commercial success,...

The Naked Gun is hardly the first beloved ‘80s comedy to get the Hollywood reboot treatment, there was also Vacation, Coming 2 America and several new additions to the Ghostbusters franchise. And while those movies likely had their fair share of challenges to deal with, it’s not like Chevy Chase, Eddie Murphy or Dan Aykroyd ever went on trial for first-degree murder.

The original Naked Gun trilogy, on the other hand, famously featured football star, accused murderer and one-time prank show host O.J. Simpson as Frank Drebin’s best friend and partner, Officer Nordberg.

In retrospect, it’s pretty weird that Simpson, who was ultimately acquitted of all murder charges, has a prominent role in one of the funniest movies of all-time. But rather than avoiding the issue, the new Naked Gun movie immediately let us know that O.J. jokes were on the table.

The reboot’s first teaser...

There’s a scene in Solo: A Star Wars Story—mid-train heist, snow flying, chaos erupting—where Han quite literally fumbles his way into being the hero. It’s clumsy and unexpectedly heartfelt, much like the movie itself.

Released in 2018 under the shadow of a very public director swap, Disney’s franchise fatigue, and the internet’s inability to let go of Harrison Ford, Solo never really had a fair shot. It grossed $393 million globally, making it the lowest-earning live-action Star Wars film, thus earning it the dreaded “flop” label.

However, box office numbers rarely tell the whole story. Solo isn’t actually a bad movie. In fact, it’s a lot more fun than most people give it credit for.

Solo hit theaters a mere five months after The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson’s film that split the fandom more violently than a lightsaber through a Praetorian Guard.

Following a wildly successful rap career, Ice Cube has become one of the most notable names in Hollywood and a classic franchise where he plays the lead character is now available to stream in its entirety. Ice Cube made his feature film acting debut with a great performance in Boyz n the Hood, but branched out to comedy soon after.

That venture into comedic roles paid dividends for Ice Cube. Most of his highest-grossing films are in that genre including Are We There Yet? and 21 Jump Street. He portrays the lead character in two comedy trilogies, including Barbershop, but his initial comedy series can now be watched on Peacock ahead of its fourth movie.

Brie Larson Explains Why She’s Almost Never Recognized in Public Despite Being a Marvel Superstar ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Brie Larson is front and center in one of the biggest superhero sagas of all time; however, she says hardly anyone gives her a second glance in real life. With major titles like Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame, and Fast X in her filmography, her face is familiar to millions across the globe. Yet, in her day-to-day routine, the Oscar-winning actor slips by mostly undetected.

So how does someone that famous pull off near-total anonymity? According to Larson, it’s not a trick — it’s simply the way she lives, dressed down and grounded in reality.

Brie Larson Reveals She’s Rarely Recognized Off-Screen

Brie Larson, who won the Academy Award for Room and went on to lead massive blockbusters, recently spoke about why she rarely draws attention in public spaces. On...

Millions hunt. One runs. Everyone watches. Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick, Twisters) stars in Edgar Wright’s new movie The Running Man, an adaptation of the Stephen King novel that was previously adapted in 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the starring role. Watch the official trailer for The Running Man below.

Paramount brings The Running Man to theaters on November 7, 2025.

Here’s the brand new official synopsis for Edgar Wright’s fresh take…

“​In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on television—a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward.

“Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort.

Following his turns in “Hit Man,” “Anyone but You” and “Twisters,” Glen Powell is flexing his movie star chops as the lead of Edgar Wright’s remake of “The Running Man.”

Based on the the 1982 novel by Stephen King (which was then turned into a 1987 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger), “The Running Man” takes place in a dystopian society where a game show pits contestants, called “runners,” against murderous killers (aka “hunters”).

According to the film’s synopsis, the Runners “must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward. Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort. But Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan...

Ryan Gosling didn’t sign up to be a hero, but the universe has other plans. In the first trailer for Project Hail Mary, the actor trades his classroom for a spacecraft as he wakes up alone, memory-wiped, and tasked with stopping Earth’s extinction. Directed by The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the film is adapted from Andy Weir’s bestselling 2021 novel of…

11.9 light-years from home, Ryan Gosling has one chance to save us all — and he’s not alone.

Filmed for IMAX, Project Hail Mary launches into theaters on March 20, 2026 via Amazon MGM Studios. Watch the trailer below.

Based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir (The Martian), the science fiction adventure is directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller and written by Drew Goddard.

Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out.

He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.

Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, and Milana Vayntrub round out the cast.

Stephen King’s The Running Man is headed back to the big screen from director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Last Night in Soho), with Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick, Twisters) taking over the role played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1987 movie. It’s set for release in theaters from Paramount on November 7, and the trailer arrives tomorrow (July 1).

Watch a short – but explosive – tease for the trailer featuring Glen Powell below.

Glen Powell will be playing the role of Ben in Wright’s The Running Man, with Colman Domingo (Candyman) and Katy O’Brian (Love Lies Bleeding) also starring in the film.

The cast also includes Daniel Ezra, Karl Glusman, Josh Brolin, Lee Pace, Jayme Lawson, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones, William H. Macy, David Zayas, and Sean Hayes.

Ryan Gosling is heading to space in the first trailer for “Project Hail Mary.”

The comedic sci-fi film from Amazon MGM Studios follows Gosling, whose character makes a leap from unassuming teacher to an astronaut assigned to a risky space mission. The “Barbie” star appears opposite Sandra Hüller (“Anatomy of a Fall”), who convinces Gosling’s character to launch himself into space to save humanity.

“It’s an insanely ambitious story that’s massive in scope, and it seemed really hard to make, and that’s kind of our bag,” Gosling said about the film at CinemaCon. “This is why we go to the movies. And I’m not just saying it because I’m in it. I’m also saying it because I’m a producer on the film.”

Based on the Andy Weir novel of the same name, the film was directed by “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.

Project Hail Mary, the eagerly awaited film adaptation of Andy Weir’s best-selling novel, tells the story of a humble high school science teacher who becomes humanity’s last hope during a critical interstellar mission.

In 2020, before Amazon acquired the studio, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer secured the rights to the book in a hotly contested bidding war. The deal, reportedly valued at $3 million, was made even before the novel had been published.

Ryan Gosling leads the film as the unlikely hero, a man pulled from an ordinary life as a science teacher and thrust into deep space to confront a crisis that threatens the survival of Earth itself.

If the adaptation follows the structure of the novel, viewers can expect a nonlinear narrative. The story begins with Gosling’s character awakening aboard a spacecraft, alone and disoriented, millions of miles from home, with only fragments of memory to guide him.

To build excitement ahead of its release,...

The first poster for Ryan Gosling's space adventure Project Hail Mary has been revealed. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the upcoming film is adapted from Andy Weir's novel of the same name and will be released in March 2026.

Gosling stars as Ryland Grace, a science teacher who wakes up on a spaceship with no memory of how he got there. However, he soon realizes that he's been tasked with solving a mystery threatening Earth: what is making the sun die out?Project Hail Mary also stars Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, and Milana Vayntrub.

Amazon MGM Studios has now kicked off promotion for Project Hail Mary by releasing the first poster, which features an astronaut (likely Gosling) hurtling over a colorful spacescape while being dragged by a ship. The poster also came with the news that the first trailer will be revealed on Monday, June...

Channing Tatum's new crime comedy movie Roofman has gotten its first look with a new trailer. The film is scheduled to hit theaters this October.

Paramount Pictures posted the official trailer for Roofman on YouTube earlier today. The movie is based on the true story of Jeffrey Manchester (Tatum), a former Army Ranger and struggling father who robs McDonalds restaurants by cutting holes in the roofs, earning himself the titular nickname. When he escapes from prison, he begins secretly living inside a Toys 'R' Us for six months, undetected and planning his next move. Things take an unexpected turn when he falls for Leigh (Kirsten Dunst), a divorced mom who falls for his charms, causing Jeffrey's double life to begin unraveling before his eyes.

Roofman was directed by Derek Cianfrance and written by Cianfrance and Kirt Gunn. In addition to Tatum and Dunst, the film also stars Ben Mendelsohn...

Years after the infamous trial between him and his ex, Amber Heard, Johnny Depp is weaving his way back onto the big screen. His next project is Modi, Three Days on the Wings of Madness. The actor doesn’t actually appear in the film, but he directed it, his first time behind the camera in over twenty years. The project is a biopic of Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani and is based on Dennis McIntyre’s play Modigliani. Then, he will reunite with Penélope Cruz for Day Drinker, a thriller for Lionsgate and directed by Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man). This will be Depp’s first major Hollywood feature since the trials.

While Jerry Bruckheimer deals with how to handle the Depp situation for the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean installments, Depp talks with The Sunday Times about his career and life going forward. Whatever you call his new projects, don’t call it a comeback.

Johnny Depp has been one of Hollywood's most world-renowned actors for decades, especially since taking on the role of Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. The associated fame is not something he's ever been thrilled about, however, as he can still remember feeling "miserable" when he noticed how people treated him differently once he became a star.

Back in 1984, Depp landed a role in the horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street after he was encouraged to audition by Nicolas Cage, who was a friend of his then-wife. At the time, Depp was planning to have a career in music, but the success of the Freddy Krueger film led to other casting opportunities. Soon after, he was cast in the role of an undercover cop in a high school for the TV series 21 Jump Street. This role established Depp as a leading man, but the...

“Deep Cover” is one of the more underrated films of the year so far. Quietly released in mid-June on Amazon’s Prime Video, the British action comedy follows a trio of improv actors who are recruited by the police to go undercover and infiltrate a dangerous criminal gang. “Deep Cover” has a lot of fun stretching its absurd premise as far as it can go. It is charming, light on its feet and deserving of more publicity and promotion than it has so far received.

If you are one of the viewers who has been charmed by it, here are seven movies like “Deep Cover” that you should watch next.

“Game Night” (Warner Bros. Pictures) “Game Night” (2018)

One of the best comedies of the past decade, “Game Night” has everything you could want from a comedy about a group of people who — much like the ill-equipped actors in “Deep Cover...

For those of us who grew up watching Dustin Nguyen on “21 Jump Street,” seeing him back on our TV screens in recent years — most recently on Apple TV+’s “Dope Thief” — has been akin to reconnecting with an old friend. So where has Nguyen been, and how did he make his way back to Hollywood?

Turns out Nguyen had been building a busy and successful film career in Vietnam, where he had born but left as a teen (with his family in 1975 after the fall of Saigon). He first returned to the country to shoot the 2007 Vietnamese language film “The Rebel”— which became a huge blockbuster there.

“People were saying, ‘hey, you should come back here and be a part of this renaissance with the movie industry,” Nguyen recalls. “I made a decision to just move and hope for the best. I opened a production company there, and I...

It’s been over a decade since 21 Jump Street turned undercover high school chaos into pure comedy gold. Honestly, who can even forget Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill as the world’s least discreet “teenagers”, busting drug rings while failing gym class? This 2012 reboot took a ridiculous premise, cranked it to 11, and gave us ice cube glares, nonstop laughs, and a prom shootout for the ages.

Though Schmidt and Jenko have long since graduated, the cast didn’t exactly disappear into detention. Nope. In fact, they’ve been busier than ever, snagging Oscar nominations, directing surprise hits, dropping rap albums, and even returning to superhero land.

Whether they played bad-boy dealers, science nerds, or deadpan police captains, the 21 Jump Street crew has had one wild post-grad journey. So, let’s grab the notebooks and fake IDs, because we’re going to see what the iconic cast is up to in 2025, and yes,...

Critical acclaim failed to boost The Nice Guys' run at the box office, partly because it was released to unfortunate circumstances. Director Shane Black said that's just one of his hurdles in having the sequel film greenlit.

Director Shane Black said The Nice Guys 2 is still a long shot; it's hard to find a studio that's willing to bankroll the project. "That's the problem, is you're gonna present something that the actors have to agree to, that's a good script, and that is going to be very expensive," he explained in an interview (per /Film), "and the studio's going to say, 'Well, didn't the last one sort of bomb at the theaters?' And you say, 'Yeah, but we want you to spend twice as much on this one anyway to get everyone back.'"

The Nice Guys grossed $11.3 million on its opening weekend, exceeding projections, but it trailed behind...

The live-action remake of “How to Train Your Dragon” is here, bringing fan favorite characters to real life. But let’s not forget, the original cast was pretty stacked.

The good news for fans of the original is that the story is largely the same, staying faithful to the animated favorite thanks to Dean DeBlois returning to write and direct. It brings fans to the Isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons battle constantly — at least until one young Viking realizes maybe they shouldn’t be.

Here’s how the live-action version compares to the animated cast.

In the original film, Hiccup was voiced by “This Is the End” and “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” star Jay Baruchel. In the live-action version, he’s played by Mason Thames, who played Finney in “The Black Phone.” Thames has also appeared in episodes...

It’s clear that modern-day dating is cursed, but future dating? Seasoned actor Stanley Wong (“The Big Short” (2015), “21 Jump Street” (2012)) speculates that we will be no different in the hereafter with his directorial debut, “Future Date”. “Future Date” covered modest ground during its festival run, taking home the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature at the Asian American International Film Festival, in addition to nominations at three others.

Future Date review is part of the Submit Your Film Initiative

“Future Date” takes place in the Los Angeles of tomorrow, where the outdoor climate is unlivable and most of its citizens spend their lives within the claustrophobic confines of their studio apartments. Here, Wong plays himself as Ry, a bespectacled boy obsessed with finding “the one” through Connektr, a virtual dating app. He learns about a pilot program where select contestants can live in a...

Johnny Depp’s Worst Audition Ever(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Johnny Depp never found joy in the Hollywood audition process. It was never the red carpets or the money that thrilled him about making it big, but it was finally being free from auditions. Why? Because he absolutely loathed them and always had. For Johnny Depp, the idea of being judged in a cold, quiet room by emotionless faces didn’t sit well, as he saw acting as a deeper form of connection.

A Flu Gave Johnny Depp His Breakthrough Role

Depp admitted he was terrible at auditions in his early years. He couldn’t force himself to perform for a panel of strangers staring blankly, and the environment made everything he believed about acting feel artificial.

“I was a young idiot,” Johnny Depp remembered at the AFI Festival in 2015, per Far Out Magazine. “I recognised that this process really had...

Exclusive: Pine Bay Pictures, Morning Moon and Traction have set SNL alum Rob Riggle and Fast & Furious franchise lead Jordana Brewster for Josh Plasse’s The Pirate King.

Riggle will star as a Marine veteran struggling with Ptsd and addiction who finds unexpected redemption when he joins a group of pirate reenactors, giving him a chance to fight for custody of his daughter and rebuild the life he thought was lost forever. Production starts this month.

The script was penned by Plasse based on a story by Brev Moss inspired by the exploits and adventures of real-life pirate Captain Todd Willis.

Riggle, who is a former Marine officer attaining the rank of lieutenant colonel said, “I have seen the hope and struggle that many veterans across the country experience in this script, and I’m honored to be part of this film to share their story.”

Plasse added, “The...

Marking the first time the series has been made available to stream for free on AVOD (ad-supported video on demand), the popular British soap opera “Hollyoaks” is heading to Shout! TV starting Sunday, June 1, with the platform making available hundreds of episodes spanning portions of Season 22 and Season 23.

Following the lives, loves, and losses of a group of teenagers and their families as they go through high school, college, and into the world of work in the fictional village of Hollyoaks in Chester, England, the main arc featured in the available episodes covers the Gloved Hand Killer storyline.

In addition to “Hollyoaks,” Shout! TV also features hundreds of episodes of the American soap opera “The Bold and the Beautiful,” currently spanning Season 1 and Season 25, as well as several other On Demand and Fast channels, including channels for “The Carol Burnett Show,” “Alf,” “21 Jump Street” and “Farscape.”

“Mad Men” was set in 1960s New York, but it was mostly filmed at a studio just west of downtown Los Angeles. Sienna DeGovia was one of hundreds of people who worked on the show. Someone needed to re-create the food of that era, like savory Jell-Os and the carrots cut into one-inch cubes that used to be served on airplanes, and that’s what she does — she’s a food stylist. She started as an assistant 25 years ago and after learning the craft, became a lead stylist.

Los Angeles is full of weird jobs like that — or at least it used to be. But content production peaked in 2022, and the world’s entertainment capital has since been battered by a global contraction.

“The beginning of 2024, everything fell off a cliff,” DeGovia says. “I called all my old mentors and begged to be taken on as an assistant. I never...

Barry Diller has one request before settling in on his living room sofa for a two-and-a-half-hour interview about the juicy revelations in his new tell-all memoir, Who Knew. “Don’t write about my house,” he says. “Don’t describe the decor.”

Consider it done. No mention here of the serene, unostentatious Beverly Hills mansion tucked behind a gate, the site of his annual Oscar party. Not a word about the furnishings, some of them chosen by his late friend Sandy Gallin — the manager to Michael Jackson and Dolly Parton and charter member of what Mike Ovitz once dickishly derided as the “velvet mafia.” Color schemes? Fabric choices? Forget it. This is a safe space.

Everything else, though, is fair game. Diller’s marriage to Diane von Furstenberg. His romantic entanglements with men over the years. His close alliances and bitter battles with Hollywood legends from David Geffen...

Stephen J. Cannell created or co-created a whole lot of popular TV shows, including The Rockford Files, The A-Team, Renegade, The Greatest American Hero, 21 Jump Street, and The Commish. Somewhere in the mix was the crime drama series Wiseguy, which Cannell co-created with Frank Lupo. That show aired on CBS for a total of 75 episodes over four seasons, running from 1987 to the end of 1990… and industry scooper Jeff Sneider of TheInSneider.com hears that it’s getting a feature film revival, with Jonathan Banks (who is best known these days for playing hitman and fixer Mike Ehrmantraut on Breaking Bad) on board to reprise his role from the original series!

Sneider’s sources inform him that The Pope’s Exorcist producers Sophie Cassidy and Jeff Katz are joining forces with Stephen J. Cannell Productions to bring the Wiseguy movie to the screen. In case you need a refresher, the...

J.J. Abrams is producing a new horror film that includes the star of Captain Marvel, the director of Strange Darling, and the writer of No One Will Save You. The Cannes Film Festival is currently underway, and while many films playing at the festival are looking for buyers or distributors, the festival is also known for when major deals are struck on future potential projects. It was recently confirmed that a John Rambo prequel film was being shopped around at the festival, and now J.J. Abrams is launching what sounds like an exciting new spin on the creature feature, with some big names already attached.

Brie Larson is going from Marvel to monster. The MCU star will play the lead — and the creature — in Fail-Safe, a new horror film from producer J.J. Abrams. Deadline reports that the film is set to be directed by Strange Darling's Jt Mollner.

Fail-Safe will be told from the perspective of a young boy who comes to realize that his loving parents are hiding something from him...and that his mother (Larson) has a big, terrifying secret. The title comes from a special panic room in their house which contains her during her transformations. It is based on a 2017 short story of the same name by Philip Fracassi, which will be adapted for the screen by Brian Duffield (No One Will Save You). Says Abrams, "...having the limitlessly talented Brie Larson as our star sets up Fail-Safe to be that rare horror film that makes you laugh, feel, and care,...

Seth Rogen was very particular when it came to writing and crafting the characters in The Studio.

The star and co-creator of the Apple TV+ series recently shared with People why he “specifically” wrote Dave Franco’s role and multi-episode storyline for the actor. In the show, Franco plays a fictionalized version of himself as a Hollywood action star and wild party animal.

“Honestly, there were very few people that could have filled the roles that the people had filled because we really specifically were catering the stories to certain traits that celebrities have,” Rogen said of creating the 21 Jump Street actor’s storyline.

The Studio follows a legacy Hollywood movie studio striving to survive in a world where it is increasingly difficult for art and business to live together, with Rogen playing the new head of the fictional Continental Studios. The series has featured several celebrity cameos, as...

Many years later, 2014's "Whiplash" stands out as one of the defining motion pictures of the 2010s. Damien Chazelle's masterclass of a psychological character drama telling the story of a young, ambitious jazz drummer, Andrew Neiman (Miles Teller), butting heads with his abusive instructor, Terence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons), was not the biggest box office success story on its initial release. Still, its legacy has endured thanks to an ever-growing audience that discovered it via DVD, Blu-ray, and streaming. The film was also nominated for five Academy Awards and won three, with Simmons, in particular, taking home the gold for his supporting turn as one of the greatest villains in cinematic history.

What many may not realize, however, is that Chazelle's movie is itself based on "Whiplash," the short film of the same name that the filmmaker had made just a year prior. The 18-minute short was the first iteration...

A primary reason behind Yellowstone‘s immense success was its memorable characters. Besides the leading names, some minor characters have also left an indelible mark on the fans’ minds. Steven Williams’ Cowboy was such a character who had a very brief role in Season 2 but delivered some of the most savage Yellowstone moments.

Taylor Sheridan’s Western TV hit featured a complex web of characters and their family trees. It is tough to keep a check on the number of people driving the story. However, Cowboy was such a character who, even after his brief role, could steal the spotlight.

Could Chappell Roan follow in the footsteps of many other musical artists and start acting?!

The 27-year-old “The Giver” singer recently revealed in an interview that she met one of her idols, the legendary John Waters, and he asked about her possibly venturing into another side of the entertainment industry.

Keep reading to find out more…

“I met John Waters last night, which was insane. One of my idols! And I was talking about how there are only so many ‘firsts’ you can have with your career. And he said, ‘No, no, no—there are all the firsts to go through when you become an actress!’” she told W magazine.

“And I said, ‘I’m not an actress—what are you talking about?’ He said, ‘Every singer is an actress!’ And I was like, ‘Okay, maybe I am! Damn! If John Waters says I’m an actress, maybe I am!

Exclusive: Vanished, the indie action thriller from Randy Charach, is leading Glass House Distribution’s Cannes Film Festival slate.

The pic comprises one of three Glasshouse has acquired in a worldwide rights deal with Charach Productions – the other two being David Lynch-inspired horror Texas Nightmare and action drama Clutch. Charach produces all three, with Michael Merino or Jared Cohn attached as directors.

Vanished, which we told you about in February, stars Charach (Hunting Games), Rampage Jackson (The A-Team), Richard Grieco (21 Jump Street), David Chokachi (Baywatch), Natalie Burn (Black Adam), Al Sapienza (The Sopranos), Laurie Fortier (The Walking Dead), Robert Lasardo (Nip/Tuck), Vernon Wells (Mad Max 2), and James Pratt (Malibu Crush), with Cohn the director. Charach Productions is the producer in partnership with Traplight Pictures.

The film follows Jack (Charach), a high-level defense contractor whose life is thrown into chaos when his daughter is kidnapped and held for ransom.

Imagine being offered the chance to star in the highest-grossing movie of all time. That sounds like a dream, right? Well, not for some Hollywood stars who either passed on it or just missed the mark. Yes, a few big names turned down James Cameron’s sci-fi juggernaut.

Big stars like Matt Damon, Chris Evans, Channing Tatum, and Chris Pratt all missed out on being the face of Pandora. Yep, they passed on Avatar, which went on to rake in over $5.2 billion worldwide. But why? Let’s dig into what kept these A-listers from suiting up as Jake Sully, the hero of this mega-hit.

Let’s talk about the ultimate “What was he thinking?” moment: Matt Damon turning down the role of Jake Sully in Avatar. He was offered a 10% cut of the box office—$250 million! Crazy, right?

But Damon...

Ice Cube is still reveling in the events that have just transpired. On April 15, the trailblazing West Coast Mc and actor left his mark with a hand and footprint ceremony outside of the Tcl Chinese Theatre, where friends, family and fans gathered outside to celebrate his storied career. The same day, he announced the Truth to Power: 4 Decades of Attitude Tour, his first headlining tour in over a decade, which will allow Cube to dig deeper into his catalog for his “day-ones.”

Those who’ve been riding with Cube since the late ‘80s, when N.W.A came out firing on all cylinders with 1988’s Straight Outta Compton, have bore witness to Cube’s evolution from a young, hungry gangsta rapper to a bona fide movie star, with roles in Boyz n the Hood, Barbershop, Friday and 21 Jump Street, to name a few. Friday was Cube’s screenwriting debut...

Channing Tatum, a natural athlete who found that college was not to his liking, moved to Tampa in his teens to work construction and found an outside gig as a male stripper at night. To Tatum's credit, he never denied his stripping gig but instead turned it into artistic gold (years after he became an actor) with a hit franchise you may have heard about: "Magic Mike" (2012), "Magic Mike Xxl" (2015) and "Magic Mike's Last Dance" (2023).

After being discovered by a talent scout, Tatum started his career with small movie parts until he snagged the lead in "Step Up," (2006), a successful dance/romance mash-up. Tatum's looks and athleticism, as well as his dancing and acting skills attracted casting directors, who began to place him in bigger and bigger films.

With Tatum's skills, that led to films with better and better directors, a list that any actor would envy -- Michael Mann...

Johnny Depp can easily be one of the most celebrated and bankable actors in Hollywood, with a slew of blockbuster movies to his name. But behind all the fame and fortune, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor has also had very tough and deeply personal battles that have played out in the public eye.

From his struggles with substance abuse to reports of his compulsive spending, his private issues have on many occasions, overshadowed his on-screen talent. Moreover, in recent years, these issues have come under scrutiny, especially after this highly publicized trial with his former wife, Amber Heard.

But this also detailed the darker side of a celebrity’s life and the toll it can take even on the most iconic figures in the entertainment industry. So, let’s dive deeper to understand Johnny Depp‘s struggles with addiction and his alleged Compulsive Spending Disorder.

Channing Tatum Gambit Trauma (Photo Credit – Instagram)

For Channing Tatum, Marvel movies weren’t just entertainment, they were a reminder of what could’ve been. The actor once poured years of passion and effort into a solo Gambit film, only to watch it crumble. And that sting stuck around.

“I haven’t been able to see any of the [Marvel] movies [since],” Tatum told Variety back in 2022. “I loved that character. It was just too sad. It was like losing a friend because I was so ready to play him.”

That heartbreak started way back in 2014. Tatum had been cast as Gambit, the smooth-talking, card-slinging mutant from the X-Men universe. The plan? Introduce him in X-Men: Apocalypse and follow it up with a solo film. But the rollout never happened.

Christine Elise has shared the screen with Chucky the killer doll several times over the decades, first appearing as the heroine Kyle in Child’s Play 2 back in 1990, then reprising the role for Cult of Chucky (the seventh film in the series) in 2017 and multiple episodes of the Chucky TV show, which ran for three seasons, from 2021 to 2024. JoBlo’s own Ryan Cultrera was able to catch up with Elise at the Ve Neill’s Vampire Weekend convention in California last month and talked with her about her experiences working with Chucky and interacting with the horror community – and you can find out what she had to say by checking out the interview video embedded above.

In addition to her work with Chucky, Elise may be best known for playing Emily Valentine in 12 episodes of Beverly Hills, 90210, a version of herself in the meta revival BH90210, and Harper Tracy in 15 episodes of ER.

Well… Channing Tatum’s Gambit made a name for himself in Deadpool & Wolverine and in the MCU, but it seems that that name does not have any value anymore.

A new rumor states that although Channing Tatum is confirmed to star in Avengers: Doomsday, he might not be reprising the role of Gambit but that of some other character!

Channing Tatum believes his next film is going to be a very special one. The actor recently talked about his role in Roofman at this year's CinemaCon.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, Tatum appeared during Paramount Pictures' studio presentation at CinemaCon to talk about Roofman, which is set for release on Oct. 3. "I know everybody’s come and out and said they have something special to show you. They lied," Tatum said. "I am the one who has something special to show you. That movie is Roofman, it is a really, really special movie.

Roofman is a crime drama directed by Derek Cianfrance (The Place Beyond the Pines), and its story is a biopic of Jeffrey Manchester, a former U.S. Army Reserve officer and fugitive. Tatum went on to praise Cianfrance's work on the project. "He's crafted this movie that is an immensely entertaining ride, equal parts devastating, emotional and somehow hilarious.

While audiences might be getting sick of sequels, remakes, and reboots, there's at least one coming to theaters this summer that we're actually looking forward to. "The Naked Gun" franchise is being revived with Liam Neeson taking on the role of Frank Debin Jr., son of Leslie Nielsen's Detective Frank Drebin from the original "Naked Gun" spoof trilogy of films that spawned from the short-lived comedy series "Police Squad!"

While reviving old comedy franchises can be rather risky, "The Naked Gun" comes with a promising filmmaker behind the camera, one who hasn't found much box office success but has consistently delivered some of the greatest comedies of the 21st century. Akiva Shaffer, one-third of the groundbreaking "Saturday Night Live" comedy group known as The Lonely Island, who ushered in the era of the "SNL Digital Short," is directing the film, having previously been at helm of "Hot Rod" (which...

Amazon MGM Studios started its inaugural CinemaCon presentation with a bang: the first trailer for Project Hail Mary, a new science-fiction feature from directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller with Ryan Gosling in the lead role.

The movie is based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir (The Martian) with a script from Drew Goddard. As revealed in the trailer — and likely familiar to anyone who has read Weir’s best-selling book — Gosling stars as Ryland Grace, a schoolteacher-turned-astronaut sent on a longshot mission to save the planet as the sun begins to die. Ryland, the lone survivor of the trip, eventually comes face-to-face with an alien who similarly wants to save the universe.

The trailer, set to Harry Styles’s “Sign of the Times,” showcased Lord and Miller’s bold vision and blended science-fiction spectacle and future dread straight out of Interstellar with Ridley Scott's The Martian—not a...

Ryan Gosling, looking very nerdy and quite un-Ken-like, plays a science teacher turned grudging astronaut in “Project Hail Mary,” a sci-fi adventure that Amazon MGM Studios teased during its presentation to theater owners at CinemaCon on Wednesday.

“I put the ‘not’ in astronaut,” Gosling tells the government handler (Sandra Hüller) who has tapped him to undertake a suicidal space mission. “I can’t even moonwalk.”

The film, an adaptation of Andy Weir’s best-selling novel of the same name, follows an ordinary man who is told he has what it takes to go into the outer reaches of the universe. “You have the right stuff,” Gosling tells Hüller. “I have the wrong stuff.”

He may be reluctant, but the situation is dire. A catastrophic event threatens life as he knows it. “The world is counting on you,” Hüller tells him.

The trailer that Amazon MGM Studios shared shows Gosling and his small team in space,...

The Friday franchise has just been revived more than 20 years after the last movie was released. New Line President and Cco Richard Brener confirmed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that Ice Cube had reached a deal to write and star in Last Friday, which will directly follow Friday After Next (2002). Ice Cube mentioned last summer that he was pushing for another Friday movie to get made, but that he wasn’t making any ground convincing Warner Bros. that it was worthwhile. There is no word on if Chris Tucker, Mike Epps, or John Witherspoon are attached to star. It is also unknown at this time who will direct the film, and additional casting is ongoing. Last Friday also has no official release date at this time.

The first Friday movie hit theaters in 1995 and was an instant hit. The film earned scores of 77% from critics and 91% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes,...
